Change Terrain Resolution Bounds (3D Analyst)

ArcGIS Pro 3.4 | | Help archive

Available with 3D Analyst license.

Summary

Changes the pyramid levels at which a feature class will be enforced for a given terrain dataset.

Usage

  • Pyramid resolution bounds can only be assigned for surface types that are not designated as masspoints.

  • Consider adjusting the resolution bounds for a terrain feature when new pyramids are introduced or its current range provides undesirable display performance.

  • The terrain dataset will not be invalidated from this operation and will not need to be rebuilt with the Build Terrain tool.
